Every Tuesday and Saturday, in the middle of the small town of Vevey in the canton of Vaud, one of the most beautiful country markets of Switzerland is held.
Here, market gardeners, mushroom pickers, fishermen and flower vendors sell the produce of their effort and their passion on which the rules of world trade are very harsh.
Market Day pays them homage.

Press review
Let's discover this passionate pair, the son, a painter, and the mother, a film maker, and the path that led Laurent Veuve to reach his forties and different activities in Switzerland, and led Jacqueline Veuve to this accomplished film
Coopération, 4.10.00 (ns)
Without giving away the plot, its more than skillful conclusion manages to question many givens, even some of the former elements of the story. An enlightening testimony.
